Periodically get ‘device not responding’ error on my HiveOS rig
Once a 2 or 3 minutes I get the following error in the miner log:
grep -i error /var/log/miner/gminer/gminer.log
Error on GPU6: Device not responding, check overclocking settings
and on the following message on the miner screen:
miner
GPU6: DAG has been damaged, check overclocking settings
Miner terminated, watchdog will restart process after 10 seconds
GPU temperature is about 50-60°C, but looks like the memory chips overheat, because there was NVidia error:

Bought a terribly annoying video recorder from ZOSI
Its Windows client simply crashes with the following message:
My device model number is ZR08WN HDD:2TB and the device QR code ends with 111A:

Some GTX 1060 3GB cards have low hashrate with Ethash coins.
Ethash algorithm behaves a bit strange on my mining rig with HiveOS and 8 GTX 1060 3GB. Four MSI ARMOR cards with Sumsung memory (OC +1500 mem) have 24+ MH/s, two other cards (OC +600 mem) have 21+ MH/s and two other slow MSI cards (also OC +600 mem) have only 18+ MH/s. I tried to switch risers, PSU, PCI slots and move the cards across rigs, but with no success.
Today I did a pure experiment. I plugged one of the slow cards to a Windows 10 machine with 1000W PSU directly via PCI slot without riser, started Claymore Miner with Musicoin (that has a lower dag size than Ethereum) and got the same result as before, without OC the card had 15+ MH/s (normally it should be 19+ MH/s):
Molten SATA power connector on a mining rig.
I have a mining rig with 8 GTX 1060 3GB connected via risers, the risers are connected via SATA power connectors to Corsair HX850. When the rig stopped working I noticed that one SATA connector on the PSU is molten:
Mining Ethereum on Ubuntu 18.04 with GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
I am not a Linux expert, so it took me some time to configure my mining rig on Ubuntu 18.04 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, and I wrote down all the steps I did:
First I installed NVIDIA driver, but OpenCL did not install automatically with it and I installed it manually with the following command:
sudo apt install -y ocl-icd-libopencl1
Then I installed CURL:
sudo apt install -y libcurl3
not ‘curl’ and not ‘libcurl4’ packages, otherwise the miner will fail to start reporting the following error message:
./ethdcrminer64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by ./ethdcrminer64)
